Council Woman Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

Speaking her piece after everyone expresses their opinions, eyes closed or looking down, lying her way through the process.
Making excuses for city council, stating they don't have anything to do with the city budget.
Yet, they always vote on issues that cost the public exorbitant fees and rates for necessities.
Paying developers, using imminent domain, to line pockets of a few.
City manager, council and whomever supports them are the reason the city budget is so messed up.
Taking seven or nine percent decreases in pay is not enough.
We deserve more than the few pennies that are being offered to us on plates of rust.
